Oopps....

But before I could do anything, my system halted

Win98SE

I've just reboot
and...

when It goes up it says:

win98 enabled
:
Searching For Boot Record Fron IDE-0..OK

and when I've tried to boot from a win98se system operating flopy,
It says:
Starting Windows 98...

then

a:\

I can change it to c:\
and see the files by dir command

I have one hard drive what is partitioned to C and D

Please please....

How can I have my OS back?

THanks in ADvance

When I try:

go to c:\windows

then win

It says:

Himem.sys Is missing
Make sure that the file is at your Windows directory

Ok, I've checked it, and the file is there

so what shall I do?

boot to the win98 bootdisk ,Try typing this at the A: prompt , sys c:
and reboot computer

Or this .
